The 52 Options converted into orders are for A319's. The 75 further Options are for any model of the A320 family, ie A318 to A321. The Options have always offered that flexibility.
Whilst there were tales of woe in the last pay negotiation the result was a 6% rise backdated and a 4% rise for this year granted in October alongside a raft of little tweaks for FOs pay. Shortly followed by agreeing to change the working pattern from 5 on 2 off, 5 on 4 off to 5 on 3 off, 5 on 4 off. We also go roster disruption payments included in the new deal.
Current negotiations seek to improve the roster pattern further.
Cheers
